The Princess and the Frog Buy the soundtrack for The Princess and the Frog Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com Unfortunately, I had the flu this week and did not want to spread it to a theater rull of children (or anyone, f0r that matter). So we asked Dan’s mother to get the PeeTimes for…

Invictus Buy the soundtrack for Invictus Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com You won’t find anything wrong with the story, or the acting nor the directing. That’s because Invictus is the product of the best in the business. And who else could possibly play Nelson Mandela besides Morgan Freeman? I’m not even sure this movie…

Armored Buy the soundtrack for Armored Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com Armored is a nondemanding bit of amiable escapism. I appreciated the thriller’s lean pace, warehouse visuals and Columbus Short’s earnest, determined characterization. In the latter half of the film, it felt like a non-humorous version of Die Hard.

Transylmania What WAS this? Somewhere between a soft porn flick and a teen-humor gross-out gag film. The movie seems to want to fall into the American Pie and Something About Mary genres.

This is a watered down performance from Robert De Niro. Times used to be that De Niro in a movie meant something. But de Niro playing an old man/father is something…

Brothers [ Spoilers ahead ] This really pisses me off. The previews made the story up to be about an affair between a wife and her husband’s brother while the husband is off fighting in Afghanistan. But there wasn’t an affair. It was nothing but a kiss? Just a kiss? The real drama came from…

Up In The Air Buy the soundtrack for Up In The Air Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com A very enjoyable movie. Plenty of laughs and the story doesn’t trod down Predictability Lane. It’s a little difficult to associate with the characters since they lead rather unconventional lives. But the issues they face are similar…

Old Dogs Buy the soundtrack for Old Dogs Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com I didn’t expect much out of this movie. It seemed to me that I had probably seen everything worth seeing in the previews. Fortunately I was wrong. There were a few good and funny scenes that they saved for us. The…

Ninja Assassin Buy the soundtrack for Ninja Assassin Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com [ No Spoilers ] The previews billed this as the greatest ninja movie ever. We’ll you guys just go on thinking that. But we all know it’s not true. This is a great movie for people who like really bad acting…
